[摘要]。欧盟是一个强大的贸易力量。虽然内部和外部的贸易自由化一直是欧洲一体化的本质，但连续的扩大和欧洲单一市场的建立使欧盟成为世界上最大的贸易大国。欧盟负责通过一个复杂的决策过程制定贸易政策，这一过程经常在政治上受到质疑，但允许它在国际贸易谈判中代表其成员国发言。本章认为，欧盟不仅从贸易中获得了一些固有的权力，而且越来越倾向于将贸易作为其规范性权力的支柱。因此，欧盟现在正通过贸易成为世界强国，成为塑造多边贸易议程的主要参与者之一，并战略性地利用其市场准入，以获得商业伙伴的政治让步。本章探讨了欧盟贸易实力的决定因素（包括内在的和规范性的），并在世界贸易组织和更广泛的国际关系框架内，考察了贸易政策对欧洲在国际体系中的实力的贡献。
[Summary]. The EU is a formidable trade power. While trade liberalization internally and externally have always been the essence of European integration, successive enlargements and the creation of the European Single Market have turned the EU into the world’s largest trade power. The EU is responsible for making trade policy through a complex decisionmaking process that has often been contested politically but allows it to speak on behalf of its members in international trade negotiations. This chapter argues that not only does the EU derive some inherent power from trade, but that it is also increasingly prone to use trade as the backbone of its normative power. As a result the EU is now becoming a world power through trade, as one of the major actors shaping the multilateral trade agenda, and using access to its market strategically in order to obtain political concessions from its commercial partners. This chapter explores the determinants of the EU’s trade power (both inherent and normative) and examines the contribution of trade policy to the power of Europe in the international system, both in the context of the World Trade Organization and in the broader framework of international relations.
